The swarm just split into 4 smaller swarms and latched onto some of us and my character freaked out and cast Burning Hands, killing all the mosquitos and nearly killing her party members in the process 👍

What if I published all my #videogame#ideas? I don't think I'll ever be talented enough to actually complete any of my favorite ideas, but if I put them out with a CC BY license, then maybe someone will see it and be interested enough to do something with it!

I don't think I'm gonna finish making my #boardgame even though I've put in so much time and effort. I just think that the end product is not going to be enjoyable, and that's not something I want.

I'm a little bit disappointed, but I think it's for the best—not continuing this game will (should) finally give me the mental freedom to work on other games. And if I ever return to it someday, maybe I can do something even better with it. Who knows!

Dang! My friend just told me about this really good game idea he had and now I really want to play it! It's a survival game where you have to escape a monster, and it's played with a couple decks of cards and some dice, and it sounds really fun!

I spent a bunch of time preparing files for a prototype print run on The Game Crafter before realizing that 1) I have no artistic direction for the game and 2) I haven't playtested this version yet and things may change a couple more times.

On the plus side, the current version brings the price from ~$50 just to print down to ~$35 by removing components!

@cardboard I think of it like having multiple email addresses. I personally have 3 that I use—one that I call "home" and the others being for more specific/targeted content/discussion. It's really just a personal preference for what you want to do! :)

@cardboard@hardcorenarrativist I just realized that I have a simple one that I haven't played yet: One Deck Dungeon. I backed it on Kickstarter, but I think you can just buy it normally now. It's not super crunchy, but it's got a bunch of d6's to roll and random chance and cool art:

@cardboard@Alamantus The only one I have tried is English Eerie. I liked it a lot but I cannot compare to others :-/ I also know of Quill, which is supposed to be very good, but I haven't tried myself. Both are available in DriveThruRPG.

Does anyone have much experience with/opinions on the various #solo#RPG systems out there?

Specifically I'm interested in games that are designed for solo play or have solo play possibilities baked into them (Four Against Darkness, Dungeonous, Scarlet Heroes, ...) rather than solo engines to use with RPGs in general (Mythic GME etc.) or gamebook systems (Lone Wolf etc.).

There's a good number of them out there and currently my time constraints don't allow me to simply try out all of them.
